Editorial: Palm had previously stated that if Apple blocked Pre syncing, they would not fight it. However, now the two companies are "leapfrogging" back and forth in a way that could eventually lead them to court. This would not be a good move for Palm, because Apple would likely bring up not only possible infringement related to iTunes syncing but also the multi-touch screen on the Pre, which may be a violation of one of Apple's patents. Apple seems to have been lenient so far about the multi-touch, but forcing a court case could be the end of that.
